Correct and spend a decent amount getting certified. So that said, this will not be CARB legal.

Like everyone else.. You very much have my interest and attention!

Off hand, do you know if stock radiators and hoses can be kept? How about aftermarket radiators meant to fit in stock location?

Can't wait to see more progress, keep up the great work!

Yep. Works with stock or aftermarket radiators that are drop in replacements. We tested both stock and koyo radiators.

Awesome! Noooww.. Would you know about exhaust? Does it come around to the stock location or strictly custom pipes back?

Thanks again!

Goes to stock over pipe location.

Looking forward to seeing more on this kit. Though I understand the efficiency is often better with e
EL on turbo, it would be awesome if there was a uel manifold option. I am usually pretty practical, but man, I love that uel sound.

The main hold up right now is MFG. We are in the middle of moving to a larger facility which will allow us to MFG these and other items more quickly. We expect to be moved and running like clock work the middle of January for production. The kit will be released in December sometime so people are not purchasing it now and then waiting 3 months before we even start making them.

The kit is done, works great, and will be available to purchase in December with first kits shipping late January / early February.

So you got 3 days left it looks like to meet that goal. Any updates at all??? Pricing? Options? Anything???

Unfortunately our new facility is behind schedule which seems to be typical for construction. We could take orders for these now, but I feel like actual shipping of kits will not happen till March now due to the building delay.

Our goal here is to not take a bunch of orders before we know a delivery date. People get very very antsy and start to riot when things get pushed back on something they paid for. We'd like to avoid that situation and until we see light at the end of the tunnel don't want to start taking orders.
